sending depleted uranium weapons to ukraine. the russian foreign minister wandered fed deadly consequences for civilian mm. and gigi pig wrapped up is 3 david moscow saying that china and russia leading the changes to the world hasn't seen in a 100 years with coming to you live from all of the international headquarters here at moscow, where it's now just off to 4 pm on wednesday, so editing is seeking deeper ties with russia, and that's the message coming from the country's foreign minister, as he's just met with his russian counterpart in the southern russian city of sochi . he added that the west is picking states against each other, citing the complete a new crane and tensions in taiwan. as example, let me take this opportunity to re

a fit me and it just put in speak position on the ukraine critics. it predicts that has said the sacrifices ukraine and needs is pre approved for the deposit, quote, quote, for the deposit of destroying garage. hm. figuration. just as if they one issue is being foisted as a pretext to bring the co holt janice peaceful device by any means necessary including violent conflict, dis, irresponsible policies and then getting humanity focused really on the mutual struggle. both countries are having against western una polarity, and that's what sir gay love rav meant when he said that bilateral relations between these countries were developing under modern conditions. now of course, defense co operation is essential to achieving that, as well as to protect regional stability and contradiction to the west's attempts to keep this region and chaos. now, i was also able to ask

a question to the richer and foreign minister about recent comments made by u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin, who claimed that the rhetoric government had committed war crimes. in response. he said that that was an outright lie. let me take this opportunity, tori, a fair me and it just principally position on the ukraine. pretext a pretext that has said the 2nd phase in ukraine and needs as people for the deposit, quote quote, for the de puddles of de swain, the russian federation. just as if they were an issue is being foisted as a pretext to bring the co holt janice peaceful rice may any means necessary including violent conflict. these irresponsible policies are in then getting humanity. at latch, it is no wonder they ad meeting steve prison from pupils and nations shall out of

the world including in the united states. and you are gay. lavern also accused the west of attempting to use the issue of human rights to interfere in the domestic affairs of various different countries. and so he also said that russia will continue to stand with a retro for the enforcement of the un charter, something that lab, rob said the west violated when it disregarded the minsk protocols. there were supposed to establish a ceasefire in the don boss conflict before russia launched its special military operation. but so gay lab have also said that this is just one of many acts that the west has taken in a long trend of basically breaking international rules is most of such us as little nego illness. now the international criminal court is headed by a prosecutor who's a naturalized anglo saxon, and who of course, fulfills the orders of his masters. which forbids this body to investigate needle member countries and incites it to seek out far fetched pretexts,

nonexistent facts in order to promote the agenda of the west was a new month's sort of still doing it. now there was also talk about a number of other areas of co operation and both leaders talked or both foreign ministers rather talked about deepening cooperation in spear of the economy as well as in the sphere of education. for example, russia is planning to increase the quota of scholarships for a retreat. students that are looking to study and russia yearly. so that's basically a rundown of the general topics that were covered here at the press conference and at the meeting that preceded it. moscow has also condemned the u. k. move to supply ukraine with toxic depleted uranium ammunition, a serious step towards an escalation. he pointed out the devastating long term health effects on both civilians and the military from the use of these kinds of weapons. it for shock. this is a step towards a serious build up of escalations statements by western colleagues that it's ok.

nothing is forbidden. we don't violate in the conventions, but we all remember what consequences the use of depleted uranium supplies lead to in yugoslavia, iraq were tens of thousands of civilians and military personnel suffered from the use of this ammunition. depleted uranium rounds have been previously used by western military is against primarily armoured vehicles in tanks. thus, despite grave environmental concerns and health risks, rushes foreign ministry has warned about the devastating impact of using such ammunition food cheaply meaning it shall with depleted uranium, destroy only color in generations, but also future ones. these weapons have already been used in recent history. they inflict, in comparable damage and contrast with conventional weapons, but they also have a direct impact on human health. the targets of the munitions will suffer as well. those currently residing in the affected area as well as future generations. in addition to killing people,

these munitions also destroy the land. they affect the soil underground water for many years. they are great. let's take this further on off into national steve sweeney joining me live as students continue this story here. strong words coming from maria's hot over there from the ministry of foreign affairs, but i think strong was deservedly so. yes, indeed. already the incredibly strong word a highlighting the potential long term impact on the use of depleted uranium in ukraine in talking about the increase levels of radioactivity and all the problems associated with that. now she said that depleted uranium could cause a genocide for the population. there, but she expressed concern that ukrainians not really fully aware of the potential impact of the use of such munitions on their territory. they are only being told that the west is there to help them and is to bring prosperity to ukraine. but she described a propaganda operation. of course, there's only one news channel and ukraine. the rest was shut down by presidential

decree following the special military operation on february 24th. let's listen to what you said. i mean, you, when you my, you craniums are being told have the west is advocating billions in foreign currency to become a prosperous state. what billions they're ready to use. depleted uranium on the do you know, the poland began to export fertile soil from beer as the nazi troops during the 2nd world war? do you understand why you were in such a hurry? because after the use of shells was depleted, uranium the crop, if any, will only be poison. washington keeps on saying, save that. this conflict in ukraine is about a battle for ukraine's future democracy. one might fear there's not much of a future if the whole line is going to be irradiated by the use of these are depleted uranium tips ammunition shells. one of the long term consequences, steve, of using something like this will of course, the use of depleted uranium on the battlefield remains a kind of a legal gray area,

but it's still incredibly controversial. now the united states use depleted uranium perhaps most famously in the iraqi town or felicia, and that to arise of birth defects arising, miscarriages arise in cancer. now, in 2010, you study by leading medical journal found a 38 fold increase in leukemia. now to put that into perspective, that's higher than the figures that were found in survivors of the rossimer nuclear bomb attack, of course, drop by the united states at the end of the 2nd world war. now i was there last week, i was influencing. i spoke to medics on the ground and they said it was undeniable that there was a call to link between depleted uranium on the defects and abnormalities that we've heard about. but what they also said was that they were placed on the extreme pressure by the united states not to speak out now. the 2010 report i just referred to, of course, bailey created a murmur in the, in the mainstream pricing. the western press,

meaning that the scandal of lou just being subjected to a cover up. but let's listen to what some of those people on the ground is about. what happened to them? did it my mother in law, we didn't expect our 1st child to be born deformed before the u. s. invasion. children were rarely born with deformity. saluda may be one or 2 cases out of a 1000 births. a year later, we decided to have another baby, but the 2nd baby was also born deformed, and my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021. they told us that he is sick and feeling poorly. the reason is that felicia was a battleground from 2005 to 2013, especially in the district we are living in. now of course, it is not just the united states, nato has admitted to dropping 31000 uranium bombs during its campaign in yugoslavia in 1999. now more, more than $300.00 italian soldiers were of died as

a result of exposure to the munitions they're involved in a court case against the military alliance. one serbian lawmaker who was involved in investigations and research found that the country's natural environment was damage. that was pollution to the air, the land, the solar and water. now, some experts have said that depleted uranium poses a major global threat describing the use of depleted uranium as a trojan horse of nuclear war and saying that it could slow to wipe out humanity. if that is the case then steve, but how is the u. k, house london justify then move to send depleted uranium ammunition to ukraine. while perhaps on surprisingly, britain has been among those leading opposition to cause for a band or even a moratorium of the use of depleted uranium on the battlefield. britain who previously claimed that chelsea depleted uranium do not even have highlight was levels of radioactivity than all the household goods. like microwave ovens,

for example, and the defense ministry has defended its use of depleted uranium. once more, it's accusing russia of deliberately spreading a dis information, and it insists that the impact on personal health and the environment is low, but of course, to do otherwise. otherwise would leave them open to war crimes charges. the world health organization has, however, expressed some concerns over the use of depleted uranium by experts. again, it said that that body was also pressured into downplaying evidence into the effects and this is just simply adding fuel to those claims over cover up. now, the campaign for nuclear disarmament c n d has called for a more or for him on the use of depleted uranium. and it's called on the british government to instead fun studies into the impact of its use that said that sending such munitions into a war that would not help the people of ukraine. now we've seen statements coming in from across the world, expressing concern including from some african nations. and it's worth noting that

the announcement, the prison was to deploy depleted uranium came at a time when chinese president teach him ping was in moscow discussing his 12 point piece plan to end the conflict in ukraine. russia has insisted that it remains open to negotiations, but the west continues to violate international law acting with impunity. but it's a people and indeed the world that continue to suffer. the consequences is steve sweeney. thank you. while ramallah resign gree palestine slamming israel's pursuit of journalists saying it goes against international laws of it comes as israel's national security minister has banned the palestinian broadcast or him it escalating tensions in the region of the voice of palestine now will not be allowed to broadcast within israel with its reach limited to the west bank and the gaza strip israeli authorities to the measures

intended to prevent support for terrorism. and following the order of police in east jerusalem reportedly, summit 5 palestinian journalists in for questioning. i mean above the general manager of the marcel production company, which works with the voice of palestine, he told r t how the israeli government actually raided his company. he said there was treatment of journalists by authorities, goes against internationally accepted practices. and ahmed them of that unsafe yesterday in office a fall television company in the city of jerusalem, specifically in the baton in a district was rated by the police without any warrants. i was summoned for interrogation along with 6 other employees of the company under the pretax that it was forbidden to provide services for palestinian television. emma a few months ago we covered the van syndic nest, said with colleague salam much ricky. they corresponded for posting on television, one of the ministers of the governments, and one of the members of the class sets of the recruits party published

a photo of us working in the class. it was, should embody the democracy that they supposedly follow them. and that was the persecution of the correspondence on social networks, even comments with threats, to kill them. israel's radical government ignores and international statements. it continues to treat journalists with racism, which is completely contrary to all international laws, human rights and freedoms of the media. these railey government is trying to put pressure on journalists who are bringing the truth to the world, exposing these railey governments false commitment to democracy as it tries to silence the voice of truth. when it comes amid our recent controversial statements made by several israeli, a top officials, well, today, the israeli minister of national mission said that the gaza strip will be taken back despite any amount of casualties. i believe that at the end of the day, the sin of the disengagement will be reversed. sadly i returned to the gaza strip

will involve many casualties. just as the departure from the gaza strip came with many casualties. but ultimately it is part of the land of israel and a day will come when we will return to it. this comes on the heels of a top, israeli finance minister stoking tensions in the region when he said that quote, there's no such thing as a palestinian nation. the palestinian administration has reacted the statement demanding of the international criminal. well, the criminal court should do something about this statement, also without harsh condemnation from major arab nations like saudi arabia and the u . e was criticized by e. u foreign policy chief joseph burrell. well, let's learn more across lives now to ashcroft. i'll drop a full administer, but palestinian prisoners, he's joining us here on our team to national a very warm welcome to so thank you for coming on the program today. what, what 1st of all, what do you make of the statements made by the minister of national emissions regarding taking the gaza strip, but essentially all human costs. i think this is

this job with a statement that i sent to you. because these are i least run away from gaza strip because of the ballast thing at a distance and got and it will be good for a faction to get this back and out of their fire daily fire. i think that the israeli, a normal israeli people cannot accept this statement with very extreme as well. i think the extreme is kind of crazy and, and brought them to be blind and don't see the situation that route it would for a unify. what opinions on that to patient to have one

day so huge. and even if it would be a, a situation that is that i decide or try to destroy the ability to have to stay in solution and to bring that to a clash is for a bar. and to have with this going to leg without any ability to have solution. i think we are as a senior. i think that the israeli government, these are the coalition that we bring to you know, more on more of a jumping for a 2nd. i do apologize for interrupting you. i'm sorry, but i wanted to ask you, i,

you know, if this is all coming i made laws. now i made draft laws that are coming up with it would allow israeli settlers to return to the gaza strip. it's essentially people are worried about this will just stoke for the tensions. why do you think that's being considered right now? i don't know, but i think that the is the riley it dealing with dish and no at this same gave month in 2005. is this is tim and they brought us back to the situation before this is tim was taken by it, but i'm in a continuous to situation what happens in no, i don't think that these are and is it do favor was themselves a year or 2 even to the

bank and ginny area to be a nation. i think the israelis want to destroy any political, her eyes or any ability for the 2 people to have a piece of security and stability. and this region, we are a very high both leg and the situation. it becomes more and more complicated for, for the 2 people. if this government, the things that they can bring, but a thing as do active, any kind of accumulation. if it isn't a bad the, a totally wrong and understand the blessing of people.

and also that, that national law, which is i violated by a daily basis and with a truck out to roaming, the former minister of palestinian prisoners. joining us live from ali here with our chain to national really appreciate your time and your input. thank you for joining us. ok, so one has a 3 day state visit right here to the russian capital china as president gigi ping, discuss the ukraine conflicts and pops. busy for peaceful resolution with his russian counterpart, mister mooney is foolish. we believe that many of the points of china peace plan are similar to our views and can be taken in action for the peaceful settlement when the western kiev are ready to accept these. however, so far we see no willingness on their part. now the 12 point plan was put forward by beijing last month. that includes clauses about

a ceasefire or assumption of direct dialogue and the end of sanctions. well, instead of engaging in dialogue, you cringe presidents and he has complain that china ignored the ukranian peace plan that kia had previously conveyed the bay paging via diplomatic channels. meanwhile, us, i said the china was not impartial regarding the conflict, but should exert pressure on moscow to bring it to an end. you can reasonably look at china is impartial in any way. they haven't condemned this. so now china wants to play a constructive role here in this conflict. the ne auto press russia to pull which troops out of ukraine and ukrainian sovereign territory. they should urge urge president putting deceased bombing cities, hospitals, and schools to stop the war crimes in the atrocities and end the war today could happen right now. or the western media has been sounding the alarm bells about the deepening ties between moscow and beijing. some saying it's the west's worst nightmare. we heard from experts on the chinese affairs who said western powers and

nervous about the rising influence, resulting from china and russia working together. a great deal of force and narrative in the west led by the united states. sort of demonizing china, demonizing, russia. this is as a reflex action kind of fear that the u. s. lead has many seems to be under siege and you can see that they are playing this false narrative in blackening demonizing, china over human rights office in jan over hong kong, over the walkway and even over tick tock. and then anything you know can be twisted to implied at devilish china set out to destroy the world. now the reality is far from the case. it is absolutely a fear of the emerging multi polar world that would put us in

a 2nd place. just one of many. so at this juncture, fear and panic is kind of driving them. remember, originally the u. s. wanted to make sure that russia and europe did not come together. europe manufacturing prowess with rushes, resources would have been i threat g u. s. gentlemen, economically, so unfortunately what they've done is they pushed together china and russia, which is even more fearsome cooperation. and at this juncture, they're in a panic, allows you drippings trip to moscow wrapped up on wednesday. so here's our t correspondent, shade bows on the atmosphere surrounding the 3 day visit. interestingly, president, she chose moscow for his 1st visit after his initial appointment, his present, it was really marked his visit has been the warmth with which the 2 men have

greeted each other. how they've addressed each other throughout this landmark visit . of course, a geopolitical at power house of visit, with the eyes of the world firmly our moscow. but it's been really fascinating to see how the body language between these 2 men has evolved throughout the visit. and we can have a listen to how they refer to that close friendship here yet, walk along, reach either chinese russian ties have gone far beyond bilateral relations over the last 10 years, and all of crucial and vital importance for today's world order. a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind were guided by the principles in the un charter and a dead to an unbiased view were always ready for peace and dialogue. we firmly stand on the right side of history that was in europe. you are, you like russian chinese relations are at the highest level ever in our exemplary. this is an example of how world powers who are permanent members of the un security council, and who bear special responsibility for maintain stability and security on the

planet should interact. we really have to understand that while this friendship grows and burdens the eyes of the world are certainly now on moscow. and beijing, as they seek to put meet on the bones of the agreements, they've signed shabbos, or t, v. new cargo. moscow. ukrainian government has given an ultimatum to christian clergyman at a prominent orthodox monastery in key f. the monks must either align with a state supported patriarch will be banished from the premises. i'm convinced the situation will drastically change when the citizens leave the monastery. i believe the collaborative work of specialists and law enforcement officers will motivate that decision. the pope francis express support for the religious members of the key at the monastery after moscow. as patriarch carol drew attention to the issue of the pope said the fighting between ukrainian or russian forces should not impact

wholly red x. i think about the orthodox mom saw that keith monastery. i us the politics involved in the conflict, respect to religious sites. ukrainian authorities repeatedly rated the monastery on allegations that disclosure, members of the pro russia sympathies. however, their religious community, there is a refuse to cut historical ties with the orthodox patriarchal in moscow. ukraine's president lensky has approved the crackdown, saying the country needs to have spiritual independence from russia. moscow said key as actions show criminal intent. i spoke with a chairman of the department for the church, a society of the russian orthodox church. vladimir laquita, who says key halves, attitude towards monks in general. now is a violation of human rights. the creighton authorities might think that they benefit by prosecuting ukrainian orthodox church, but in long terms it they'll bring careless and terrible things in ukraine. if

there's a threat today over ukrainian people. it is a tragedy of ukrainian authorities, and i think it's a big political mistake making by ukrainian authorities. it doesn't bring any attention of any international law organizations and political organizations or human rights organizations. despite the fact that russian orthodox church addressed those organizations many times and petra carroll addressed to political leaders international organizational leaders, she has addressed them recently about the situation with a kiva cave on lava. but there was no result and no response, panda, it is absurd because people are arrested at because of having, i'm like congressional letters from a russian high rex. it's nothing but it is considered to be a crime in contemporary democratic ukraine. it is a very said and terrible fact and it is a violation of human rights. definitely,

absolutely. i grew up in the program but only for now here in ocoee international. thank you for joining us for this like broadcast from moscow. we return soon with more of your wednesday will the information. oh, most, all the independent journalists who pointed out that nato and the us were directly responsible for initiating the military conflict in ukraine, our casualties of it. we are all enemies to which i don't have a possibility to go safely. so there is no way for me to go back to the traits are real and own. i also have already load last few friends under wary about circumstances. i have

daughters abroad. i have family abroad and oh, it's the sacrifice and i was ready to do it. i had this in my heart. ah, my mother is a journalist and she's a good journalist. she understands that i have to do what i have to do. but yes, i miss my daughters, i miss my family, but i tried to stay tough. what use case workers was shin a cut off marana meta at the sub will the floor it pro and you thought it or were you could go this a bit of dallas, e jordan? i least gotta go it, it probably wasn't full on would you please stop me. come to live. see was up at no one mirror.
